Choosing
Should you choose WordPress or a custom website?
WordPress suits a team that publishes often and wants to edit most of the site itself. Its plugins offer a wide choice of features, but the site needs regular updates to stay secure. A custom-coded Next.js site suits a business that wants fast pages, tight security and a design without template limits. Plan for a developer to handle structural changes.
A hosted builder such as Wix, Squarespace or Webflow is an option for a small site you want to run alone. You give up some control over code and speed, and moving away later can mean a rebuild. An adapted template also fits a simple, tightly defined brief, provided the design is reworked around your real content.
Start with who will update the site and how often. That decision affects the editing setup as well as the platform. We learn how your team works before recommending WordPress or a custom Next.js build.
Local
What Durham organisations need from their websites
Durham is home to Duke University and North Carolina Central University. For a higher education organisation, the site needs a clear route through its content: decide who the visitors are, what they need to find and what you want them to do. Those answers give the sitemap a useful purpose before the visual design starts.
Health-related activity in Durham includes Duke University Hospital and private companies. An appointment-based practice needs service pages, practitioner profiles and opening hours that visitors can find, plus a booking or call option that works on a phone. Review those details as a prospective patient would, from the first page they see through to making contact.
Rules
Accessibility in a United States website brief
For a state or local government website, the brief needs WCAG 2.1 Level AA. For businesses open to the public, US Department of Justice guidance says the ADA covers goods and services offered on the web and identifies WCAG as helpful guidance. We agree an accessibility target in the brief and set up the sitemap, wireframes and desktop and mobile page designs with your feedback, so the target is part of the design work from the start.
How it runs
How a website project runs with us
We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. India is 10h30m ahead of Eastern time in winter and 1 hour less during daylight saving time. The shared board gives you a place to leave feedback between calls, so work can move across that difference.
- 01
Discover
Tell us about your business, audience and goals. We agree the scope with you before design begins.
- 02
Wireframe
We establish what goes on each page and in what order. Your feedback here should focus on content and priorities; colours come later.
- 03
Build and test
We build with clean code or a content management system your team can edit, then test on real devices and browsers.
- 04
Launch and hand over
We set up the domain, email, analytics and Search Console, then walk your team through the site.
- 05
Review on a phone
Check every page at phone size, rather than approving the design only on a large desktop screen.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Gather what you already have and identify who holds the rest.
- List your services or products in order of business priority.
- Bring vector logo files, brand colours and fonts, or note what still needs creating.
- Choose sites you like and dislike, with a short reason for each choice.
- Gather case studies, permitted client logos, testimonials, certifications and memberships in a folder.
- Find the logins for your domain, hosting, email, analytics and Search Console, or identify their account holders.
- Name the site’s goal and the person who handles each type of enquiry.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline
The scope determines the design, build and checking work.
Page templates
Distinct layouts need separate design and build work, even when the site has relatively few pages.
Features
Booking, calculators, member logins, multiple languages and a CRM connection add design, build and testing work.
Content readiness
Copy and photos ready to publish keep the scope smaller; copywriting, photography or translation add work.
Migration
Blog posts, news archives and downloadable files from an old site need moving and checking.

Questions
Asked by businesses in Durham
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to have a website built?
There is no fixed price. The scope of the pages and forms, the design work, and how much content you have ready all affect the work involved. Service descriptions, team bios, case studies and photos need owners as well as a place in the site. We send a free quote once the scope is agreed.
Is website development still worth it?
Yes, when the site has a clear job to do for your business. Search setup gives each page a foundation: titles and descriptions, a clear heading structure, an XML sitemap and structured data. Include that work during the build, when it takes less effort than fixing omissions later.
Can you work with our existing brand?
Yes. We can build on your existing logo, colours and fonts, and prepare brand assets for the web where needed. Bring the actual copy into the design as early as possible too: real headings and paragraphs can be different lengths from placeholder text and change how a finished-looking layout works.
Will we own the website?
Yes. You own the domain, content and code. Keep the domain and hosting accounts in your business’s name and grant access for the work, so you retain control of those accounts. Ownership should be clear from the start, alongside the practical details of who holds each login.
What should we do after the site launches?
Decide who will update news, projects and job posts, then keep those sections current. Use analytics to track form submissions, calls and WhatsApp clicks as conversions, and check which pages visitors started from. That gives you a way to assess enquiries alongside the work of maintaining the content.
